AC Milan 0-0 Inter Milan: 5 Talking Points

#2 A game of Half Chances

Cutrone had his goal disallowed

It was an end to end, Milan Derby, as there was not much to separate between the two teams. Both the sides created an equal number of chances, but they were more like half chances as multiple shots were going away from the goal and the follow-up chances were also going to waste.

There was an attacking threat provided by either team but this did not result in any end product as poor finishing led to the game being a goalless draw. Statistically, AC Milan and Inter were neck to neck in possession and pass completion rate.

The Rossoneri had great opportunities to take the lead but losing the ball in the final third of the pitch resultedthe ball was played in.The VAR has come under major criticism this season, especially in England when it has been used for the cup competitions.However, this time the technolog in the attack being broken and having to restart again. Gennaro Gattuso's side were dispossessed a total of eight times in the Derby.

Similarly, only 20% of the shots were on target and it was proving to be a cagey affair. Milan forward Patrick Cutrone scored a spectacular goal off a bicycle kick but was flagged offside, just like Mauro Icardi's goal in the first half.

The way the game had panned out till the 75th minute, the Milan Derby was going to be decided by a margin of one goal. The final chance of the game fell to Icardi, but he missed an open chance resulting in the game finishing at 0-0.
